Charleston, South Carolina
We are just entering Charleston after a 350nm
trip from the Bahamas. The trip took us only 48 hours as we were aided by
the incredible Gulf Stream. At one point, 120nm south of Charleston
we were in a 4 knot current. Have a look at this photo I took of the
instruments. Our boat speed is 7knots, but our SOG (overall speed
over ground) is 11.1knots. At times it felt like a rollercoaster!
![]() We will stay here for a few days before heading
further north, to the Chesapeake and beyond.
